I want to know about the future of biotech in India. Please tell me whether biotech is a better choice to opt for and how is it better than simple b.sc medical and b.sc non medical on the point of job prospect?

Bsc is not going to land you in a good job (except for teaching, that too after MSc/Phd only). In india, doing Bsc in biotech field is tough on career. You won't get a good job just by doing BSc in Biotech/Medical field. Opt for B.Tech, that has better job prospects. And, if you want to stay in biotech field only, and want to do BSc only, then plan for doing MSc from IITs (that will confirm you a teaching job atleast). For a good job, do B.Tech.

Nutshell:

Bsc Biotech or BSc Simple Medical--Rare Chance of Good Job (Sales jobs are in plenty with a meager pay of Rs 10k a month!)

B.Tech Biotech--Better chances of Good Job (QA/Production/RA). But I'll suggest you to go for specialized B.Tech like B.Tech in Food Biotechnology (which has brighter scope ahead.)

Going for GATE later on and attempting admission in IITs can make your career boom!

Have you tried using Coursera? If not, it would be highly beneficial for you. There are courses floated by top notch universities of the world, with duration ranging from 1-6 months! And they are free of cost!
